Just curious...I'm looking to register my new Gamertag soon...but, I'd like to see what is available and what is not available. So, is there an offical XBL database that has every single Gamertag listed?

I'm not really sure, the only place I really know of is www.gamertagdatabase.com But it definently doesn't have all of the tags, but it has a lot.

Nice...that helps...I did a search on a certain gamertag that I'm going to go for and it didn't come up as taken... So, hopefully it's available!

There probably isn't anything 100% official available, but, that's probably the closest you can get! Thanks!

Best thing you could do is have someone try and add it to their friend's list - that site doesn't get everyone, but I'd assume about 60% at the least.

Holy Sh*t Max!

I had no clue that you weren't on Xbox Live yet. I figured you of all people would have had an account by now.

I never got around to tackin myself to the database either. But I saw this topic, and figured what the hell. Not a bad site, the database actually has some other stuff up there of interest.

Hey Max, you can check out www.gamertagpics.com as well. I know alot of folks that frequent that site as well.

Wait.. If your service ended and you had to wait a week to re-enact could someone steal your name before you re-registered it?

I've heard many different stories about this, but the most consistent one seems to be your Gamertag goes into lockdown, so to speak. Even if you try to nab it a week later you wont be able to. I guess its possible to reregister the tag if you call xbox support. But not sure. Thats only what I have heard though. Never had to try it.

Oh because at the end of June I will have to make my gamertag again..But I want to keep it the same..
I hope I can just continue.. I can just like go on to my account info and set the CC to pay for another year eh?

As long as you do not let the subscription run out , you shouldnt have a problem....It's automatically done for you if all the information is the same. You'll get an email from MS stating they renewed your subscription for another year.
